Garfolo 􀀍  \nBarbara L’Huillier†  \nThis paper questions the role educators’ play in sustaining, promoting, and teaching the globalization business model in spite of the uneven privilege and distress that accompanies associated practices. Proponents of this business model claim it is based on democratic and capitalist principles promoting individual freedoms and equal opportunities. As teachers of the next generation of business functionaries we need to seek ways of engagement that extend us beyond harnessing extant flawed business models devoid of teleological ethical theory into mainstream management education. We argue that as educators we are implicated in maintaining a system that has a built-in willingness to tolerate sacrifice and distress of the most vulnerable of our world’s citizens. It is a system that is feeding the growing disparity of wealth and influence and ultimately exists to serve the interests of the minority elite. We suggest that one way to address the \"dark side\" of globalization is to have ethics and ethical awareness at the forefront of what we teach our business graduates.  \nKeywords: education, ethics, globalization, MBA Programs.  \nIntroduction  \nTo postulate that we are in an era of de-colonization is perhaps to succumb to a gross underestimation of the nature of the problem, its historical structure and economic causes (Garfolo & L’Huillier, 2014a) . Without an analysis of both power and of sustainability that is in vogue in much management discourse, we may well be fooled into a sense of dangerous optimism, using\"dangerous\" as Bourdieu (1998) defines the term, a normalization of the logic of markets that encroaches on everything that Deetz (1992) calls \"the life world\".  \nThose in academia are in a unique position to influence future business and political leaders by what we teach and how we teach it. As academicians we have been willing to teach ethics in our business curriculum. However, we can tell you without hesitation that a business education is not just about knowledge and cognitive skills. It is also about a sense of humanity and an understanding that the role of business is not \"just\" business (L’Huillier, 2013) . Humanity stresses the concept of basic human dignity for all.  \nGlobalization is a process that results in an ever increasing interdependency of economies, societies and political systems resulting in what McGrew (2005), Portes (2000), Beck (2000), Held, McGrew, Goldblatt and  \n􀀍 Emeritus Associate Professor, Northwestern Polytechnic University, USA.  \n† Associate Chair – Department of Accounting and Finance, Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  \n[https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.4-3-2](https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.4-3-2) doi=10.30958/aje.4-3-2  \nPerraton (1999), and Giddens (1990) refer to as a complex global web of interconnectedness. Korten, (2001), Garfolo and L’Huillier (2014a; 2014b), Maxton (2011), Stiglitz (2010), Kelsey (2002), and Shiva (2000) use the term\"globalization\" when critiquing capitalism as the dominating form of global development. All agree that globalization fosters significant inequality through intensifying competition as an unrelenting organizing dynamic that serves the interests of the minority elite. And yet despite significant scholarly agreement about the dangers of the prevailing form of globalization we still continue to teach this form of business model to our students as the way forward in terms of global development.  \nAs business educators, the problems associated with the concept of globalization and how to teach it represents a serious ethical dilemma. Unfortunately, experience has shown that for the most part, curriculum designers and faculty counsels in business schools have shied away from this potential political hornets’ nest. Rather, they prefer to adopt the Milton Friedman approach to business and social responsibilities by ensuring students are ta","cbCaio9sX2csmw79","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio9sX2csmw79","pdf",406583,12,"English","# Introduction\n## Effects of Globalization","[{\"question\":\"What role does the paper argue educators play in globalization?\",\"answer\":\"It argues educators sustain, promote, and teach the globalization business model, even though its outcomes are uneven and ethically problematic.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the paper say ethical awareness should be central in business education?\",\"answer\":\"Because teaching globalization in its current form risks reinforcing embedded assumptions and governance concepts that deepen inequality; ethics should guide what is taught.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper identify as a major effect of globalization?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes that globalization fosters significant inequality through intensifying competition, serving the interests of a minority elite.\"}]","Ethics, Globalization, and the Role Educators Play | PDF",1792075165]
